I have read something about there being a cooler that you can get for you transmission to prevent some of the problems the 01' has. Mostly because the entire reason I think the 01 transmission has problems is because of overheating. So what kind of brands are there that are suggeted, and has anyone here put it on there 01' automatic transmission? Is it possible to get a guage for the transmission tempature, to install in your inside cab so u can monitor it?

hi does anyone have a tranny cooler in stalled yet i really think i need a tranny cooler because im runnin 12lbs boost and i race everyday and drive up hills, ive been through 2 trannys and the synchros keep going bad and its all due to heat the tranny runs real hot and the fluid gets hot and its just sitting there its not like the engine oil where it has a filter and pump and filtration system, doesnt anyone on this site have a tranny cooler installed

Automatic Transmissions
OIL TEMPERATURE MEASURED AT CONVERTER OUTLET TO COOLER:
300° F= The maximum allowable temperature. This is the recommended place to install a temperature gauge or sensor. Do not allow the converter outlet temperature to exceed 300° F. The temperature at this location will vary significantly because of load, hill climbing, etceteras. If the temperature reaches 300° F, reduce throttle. To lower transmission temperature with transmission in neutral, run the engine at 1,200 RPM for at least 2 - 3 minutes while keeping a close check for signs of engine overheating. A transmission in a heavy throttle, stall condition (a typical situation is rocking a vehicle stuck in mud, sand, or snow), may increase temperature at a rate of 1° degree per second of stall.
OIL TEMPERATURE MEASURED AT OIL PAN OR SUMP:
150° F= The minimum operating temperature. Note: It is possible in low ambient temperatures to overcool the transmission with auxiliary oil to air coolers. Oil to water coolers in standard factory radiators will normally not overcool a transmission.
